As you may or may not know, my cat is a rescue cat (of sorts; her owner died and we took her in). Well, there were two other cats living with her. One, Mitten, got attacked by her previous owner's boyfriend's dog, and then sent to the RSPCA (I actually wish we'd offered to take her in as well, and really regret not doing so).
The other, Whiskey, got taken in by a lady who lived across the way from the previous owner. After about a year, that lady also died. Now, I know one of her friends looked after the dog (and still has it), but I didn't know what had happened to Whiskey. I knew he was still about, because he's a big solid bruiser, and he thinks he owns the entire area, and occasionally he'd come and harass my cat. After a while, I didn't see him so much, and I thought maybe he'd been taken to the RSPCA too, or maybe he'd died (but I really hoped he hadn't).
I was out delivering Xmas cards for my mum the other day. I happened to walk past one house, and there's this big black cat sitting on the kitchen window sill. As soon he sees me, he jumps off, comes over, and meows at me. I gave him a fuss, he headbutted me, and then we parted ways because I was cold, and he was soggy.
I thought on my way home, "That cat might be Whiskey. It's definitely got his wonky ear (from fighting) and his dodgy eye (probably from the same)". Also that cat's all muscle - he headbutts you, you know about it.
TL;DR version: I just checked my photos on my hard drive, and that cat is most certainly Whiskey. I am so happy, you don't know. That has just warmed the cockles of my heart.

Here's a crochet meme that I'm doing all in one because I'm impatient, and I like questions.
